CBG-- Is it wrong then to drink green beer on St. Patrick's Day? That post was along a similar vein-- I was color coordinating the meal at the transition time when this board changed from a catsup/mustard hue to the current bluish theme. Anyway, I just like to get silly time to time and have fun, especially with sufficient libations within me.

Umm - you missed the "Mr. Green" smiley? Usually that's humorous too, as is the phrase "that's just wrong". I wouldn't take it too seriously as it wasn't intended to be serious.

And being of Irish birth and descent and having lived in Ireland and Scotland for over 2 years, all I can say is that the only places I've seen green beer on St. Patrick's Day are in Canada and the US, and I've never seen it overseas. Usually over there we had Guinness, which is so dark the green color wouldn't likely show up well.

There's no "right or wrong" about it - just one tradition vs. another tradition.

Unlike propane, you'll never wake up scorched and naked in another county because you mishandled a bag of briquettes.

I'm cool, brother. Then in that case you are absolutely right, it was just wrong. Isn't the corned beef/cabbage thing an American phenomenon as well?

That's right. In Ireland it's bacon and cabbage. Boiled bacon and cabbage to be exact. I prefer the corned beef.
